Jennie loved anything romantic and dramatic from about age four. As a young teenager she joined amateur dramatic groups and youth theatres and found her place in the world. She then went to college to learn how to be a secretary and how to touch type (best thing she learned how to do) and can still do shorthand but only she knows what she’s saying.

She gave up her career as an office worker at the heady age of eighteen and went to drama school in London where she spent three years being poor and very dramatic. Jennie then spent the next fifteen years as a professional theatre actor, working all over Britain. She was still poor but strangely contented.

When out of work as an actor, Jennie worked as a Foley Artist, recreating sound FX for film & TV in sound studios all over London and England, including Pinewood and Twickenham. When she was 25 she wrote a Mills & Boon historical western but they didn’t want it. Fortunately, she got a job in musical theatre and forgot about writing historical westerns, for which, she says, authors of historical westerns should be truly appreciative! But it was her start...and we all have to start somwhere (or start again) sometime in our lives.

Jennie's debut novel The House on Burra Burra Lane was a bestseller which was completely unexpected and led to a five book series, all bestsellers - also completely unexpected.
